Streaming service expands

Now the bookseller is attempting to remedy that by adding hundreds of thousands of songs - no exact figure given, unfortunately - as well as hundreds of new curated Prime Playlists.

The new artists being added and artists' catalogs expanded in this update range from Kendrick Lamar and Skrillex to Nick Cave and Ella Fitzgerald, according to a press release.

Makes you wonder, does Amazon need to visit a record store, or does it just order new music from itself?

With free shipping, too

It's unclear at this time whether these additions address the main complaint with Amazon Prime Music at its launch: that it only features songs that have been out for six months or longer.

We've asked the company to clarify this point, as well as on exactly how many songs have been added, and we'll update if we hear back.

Nevertheless, "the response we've had to Prime Music has far exceeded our expectations and we're excited to make Prime Music even more valuable for Prime members," Amazon VP of Digital Music Steve Boom said in the release.

He added that Amazon has received positive feedback regarding Prime Playlists as well.
